Abstract
This chapter describes the Aspirin/MIGRAINES 6.0 software package for simulating backpropagation-style neural networks, available for free from The MITRE Corporation. This software takes a user’s high-level description of a neural network and generates a high-performance C code implementation. The system also contains an interface to visualization tools, allowing the parameters and values of the resulting networks to be displayed graphically or processed by subsequent systems. In addition, a simple set of numerical analysis tools is included.
